All bus stops in Prague to become “request stops”

As of June 29 of this year, all bus stops within the Prague municipality will be so-called “request stops” the Prague Integrated Transport Company announced on its website. As of that date passengers wishing to get off the bus will have to press the red STOP button ahead of the respective bus stop. If they are waiting at the bus stop they do not need to wave or otherwise signal, the driver will stop automatically. The aim of the measure is to shorten intervals, reduce noise and save fuel.
